Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cheick Kongo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam McKay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKay is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Noah Doctor - Better call him now, lol. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
